Unable to copy photos over

Hi everyone.
I am using iPhoto 08 on an iMac. I made an album in iPhoto of photos that I want to export to a USB stick so that I can then plug that USB stick into a digital frame.
I can successfully export the files to a folder on my desktop but then am unable to copy the photos over to my USB stick. There are 517 photos total and whenever I try about 77 photos appear to go through okay and then I start getting errors like "photo xxxx cannot be copied over because there is not enough space". This isn't true because the USB stick is 2 GB and all 517 photos total are around 500 MB. I have even tried on a different USB stick so I know it's not the USB stick that is at fault.
The same happens if I copy over the photos one by one. And the same thing happens if I export the photos directly from iPhoto to the USB stick. It keeps crapping out.
Any recommendations out there? Kind of stuck with this one…
Thanks,
Keith

Larry,
Thank you for the response! That did not solve the problem, unfortunately. It did, however, lead me down the path of formatting the stick in Disk Utility, which did solve the problem (MS-DOS FAT). I formatted the stick in that manner because I needed a Philips digital frame to be able to read the stick, and only FAT is supported.
Thanks for your help Larry,
Keith

Unable to copy photo's

Hi I can't seem to be able to install my iPhone correctly. I can sync with iTunes fine but can't copy photo's and videos across.
In my device manager it says iPhone under imaging devices but with an exclamation mark. I have tried to update driver but once it starts to install digital imaging device it says can't install data is invalid.
This may have been discussed elsewhere but I can't find the thread.
If anyone can help or at least point me in the right direction please.
Ally

You have to use Itunes to get photos onto your Iphone. As an imaging device it is one way traffic - photos off the Iphone onto the PC.
When the phone is connected to Itunes point to the phone's name in the left hand panel and click. On the screen that appears click on photos and select the folders you want to sync onto your phone.

File sharing - unable to copy photo folder

Hi!
I'm using File Sharing to connect my iMac to my mother's iMac.
I'm trying to copy a folder called "Mom Photos" (sub-folder of the main Pictures folder) to my computer. I created a user name and password on her iMac that I use to login from my iMac. Once logged in, when I click on the "Mom Photos" folder and try to copy and paste it on my computer, I see the following error message: "The items on the Clipboard can't be pasted to this location. One or more of the items may have been deleted or are no longer available."
When I created my user name on her iMac, I set the privileges to "Read and Write."
If I open the "Mom Photos" folder and select all the individual sub-folders within, copy and paste them to a folder on my iMac, I see the following message: "One or more items can't be copied to "Pictures" because you don't have permission to read them, Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
Thank you for any help!

Not being able to copy the folder itself would suggest that it has some other file, probably hidden, that is stopping the procedure. You could go up one level and perform the same action, but if this next level up is the Pictures folder then it might be best not to do this as the iPhoto library is also included within the Pictures folder.
One possible workaround would be to create yet another folder within the Pictures folder and then copy the "Mom Photos" folder inside this. Then when you do the Apply to Enclosed Items for this new folder, the "Mom's Photos" folder should now be available to copy.
If this still doesn't help then there is a Terminal command called change mode (chmod) that can be used to change the permissions on this folder. This would require to be on your mums iMac and to use her account, as you will need to authenticate to complete the task. It would be best if you can complete the operation without using Terminal but if using the GUI doesn't succeed then Terminal may be your next best option.

Unable to send photos over LTE - Seattle area

Anyone else having this problem? I'm here in the Seattle area with a decent LTE signal but the photos I send continually come back as "Not Delivered".. What is the deal?!

Hello MajestyRider, Let's make sure your pictures are sent no matter where you are! Is this happening with every picture message? How long has this been happening? Are your other data services working as normal? Are the users you are sending the messages to Verizon Wireless customers or with random carriers? I am eager to help troubleshoot and get to the bottom of this!
Thank you,

I recently replaced my hard drive. When I reinstalled os I am unable to access my old backups. I can see them, but when I try to copy them over it won't let me.

Is there any way for me to access my old backups. I can see them but am unable to restore them, or copy them over.

How were the backup created?

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

Unable to copy and paste a phote from my photo library to another photo album

iphoto 6.0.6 unable to copy and paste a photo from my main library album to another photo album. why does the copy and paste function not work for these albums. I have tried to drag it and drop it into the album, but nothing works. it this a bug? When I created the album several years ago, I was able to copy and paste photos into it, but now when I try to copy and paste nothing happens. Again I ask, is this a bug?

unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

The correct method of restoring photos from Time Machine is to restore the entire library.
The way that TM backs up files makes nearly impossible to go into the backup via the Finder and recover individual files. So you will have to restore a library that contains the photos you need being sure to select the option to keep both versions.
Then open the restored library and export those photos you need. Open your original library and import those photos. After that you can delete the recently restored library.

I have over 100 photos, the unedited version of those photos is the only item that downloads onto Shutterfly or my computer. The Apple solution is to email each individual photo (over 100 of them) to yourself & then copy them to your computer? Really? This is the Iphone 5s, isn't it supposed to have great technology? It can't even recognize the photos on my iphone are all edited? Who has time to email over 100 vacation photos to get them correct? That is beyond acceptable from Apple.

Please read this article about how to go about transferring photos from iphone to computer.

Unable to transfer photos to burn a CD

Hello.
I have an I Book G4. I have uploaded some photos very valuable to me, of my trip to Ireland. They appear as a roll in Iphoto.
I have tried to export the photos so that I can copy them onto a CD to save them.
I get a message; unable to create/users/campd/desktop.
Then, I am unable to transfer the photos.
I am moving over to a new Mac, and would like to take these photos with me on a CD. In the past I have been able to export and copy photos.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Duane:
Have you tried dragging those photos from the iPhoto window onto the desktop?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Copy photos from pc to ipad2

Seeking best way to move photo's from win 7 to ipad 2 - using itunes but it builds a temp file and was unable to remove photo's from temp files...?? will check with phone support...just wanted to verify with on line support ,

Not entirely sure what you mean by 'temp files' - do you mean the photo cache ?
There are instructions on this page for syncing photos from your computer to your iPad.
If you are having problems syncing them then you could try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page.

Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations. In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export... In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information". Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others. In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji. But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector. The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto. If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data. Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy. Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

Thanks for the pointer. I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy. Copy the photos to the new Library. Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc). Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working). But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature.

Unable to delete photos from my ipad2 .

I am unable to delete photos from my ipad2. I am able to select the photos to delete but when I press the red delete button nothing happens. Is anyone else having this experience? Is there a known problem. Is there a solution?

You don't say what type of photos - were they taken with the iPad or synced from your computer ?
Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (if you were able to delete them directly on the iPad, then the next time you synced photos they would be put back onto the iPad, unless you remembered to also remove them from your computer).

I have suddenly become unable to access photo library iPhoto (vers 9.5) on my external drive. And time Machine will no longer back up to the same external (LaCie) drive. Appreciate all suggestions. The drive does show up on my desktop....

I have suddenly become unable to access photo library (iPhoto vers 9.5) on my external hard drive. Also time machine isnt backing up to same external hard drive (LaCie). The drive does show up on the desk top, but when i open iPhoto the library isnt listed, so I cant option click.

First, one should not try to run an iPhoto library from the same volume/drive that is being used by Time Machine for backups. TM will continue to fill up the drive thus squeezing out iPhoto from being able to be opened and used. Also that doesn't allow you to let TM backup your library as it does with other files on your boot drive.
If you partition the EHD into two separate partitions you can run the library from it but that won't let TM backup the library which is important.
Are you able to see the library on the EHD via the Finder? If so copy it back to your boot drive and open it there. You may have to do some fixing on it.
Solution is to either run the library from the boot drive or get a second EHD to run the library from and let TM back it up along with your boot drive.
